Does this seen dangerous to anyone but me? I would think that you might get a ricochet, deflection, splatter or a bounce back if you failed to clear the cutout hole. The bullet may not go where it is intended to go.
Wood will deflect a bullet and that is why when hunting in the woods a person has to have a clear path between the gun and target.

Once when shooting sporting clays my brother hit a tree about 15 feet in front of the stand and felt a sting on his arm and saw a drop of blood. He wiped off the blood but several days later it festered up and he removed a splinter of wood. Splatter and bounce back is possible and she is a lot closer that 15 ft. Larry
